The Pinyon O'Pinion: New and Improved Sticky

Welcome!  Yes, this is the same local newspaper site; it just has a different look.  Plus it now provides more opportunities to bring our community together.  No, you don't have to join anything or register just to read up on all the latest happenings.  However, if you are so inclined to make a comment or even better, to contribute something...well now you are able to do that.  The registration is for one purpose only: Anyone who wants to contribute an article, a notice, a question, a photo, a classified ad, or even just an observation, must register to do so.  It is quick and painless and simply keeps people from writing things anonymously.  The editorial staff does have final say over content, but we want to hear from everyone in our community who has something interesting to add.  This is a work-in-progress which will be constantly updated, rather than published every other Friday.  In fact, on the bottom left hand corner, is an orange RSS icon which you can click to subscribe to email notices whenever something new is posted. So, check it out.  Give the site a test drive and see what you think!

Update

Pinyon Security Alert Update:
Vehicle may be a black Cadillac Escalade; such a vehicle reportedly was seen in Palm Desert appearing to be scoping several residences as described in the alert below:
Safety Alert: A black color SUV (sports utility vehicle) drove up a cul-de-sac and into a driveway and then hastily retreated when they realized somebody was home … leaving some damaged landscape lights that they had run over.

This is a general security alert:

Pinyon Crest residents reporting a suspicious black SUV
that appears to be "casing" homes in their area. 
This black SUV pulled up one cul-de-sac and up into a private driveway
and then hastily retreated when they realized somebody was home......
leaving some damaged landscape lights that they ran over behind.

So keep your "neighborhood watch" caps on and keep your eyes and ears open
for suspicious traffic in our neighborhood.
Get a license plate and vehicle make if you can if you see this black SUV cruising around your neighborhood AND CALL 9-1-1 and your neighbors.

Pinyon Communities Council Meeting

PINYON COMMUNITY COUNCIL  February 6, 2012 AGENDA – Riverside County Sexual Assault Felony Enforcement Task Force will provide a presentation at the next meeting of your Pinyon Community Council.
Please include in your schedule to attend this particular council meeting and hear about what this dedicated county task force is doing to protect us all from sexual predators.
Among other things you will find out how to recognize a sex offender and how to check to see if there is a registered sex offender living near you. Note that while females are normally the victim of a sex offense males can also be victims.
Your Pinyon Community Advisory Council is looking forward to this presentation and your attendance!
Remember that the council members are residents of a Pinyon community, volunteer their time and advise the County Board of Supervisors specifically through the Honorable Jeff Stone on matters related to the Pinyon communities.
